Snowballs & The Bills

Last night the Buffalo Bills won a very exciting close game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday national prime time TV 32 - 29 and the snowballs were flying.

It was snowing all day in the Southtowns and the game was expected to be played during heavy snow squalls. The media was all geared up for game in winter blizzard conditions but it didn't happen that way. The snow belts moved north to the city and beyond. It was snowing here the whole time the game was being played but nothing fell on the field.

Early in the game the fans began throwing snowballs on the field and pelting opposing players after they scored. The game was stopped for about fifteen minutes and the officials assessed a fifteen yard penalty to the Bills. After that the fans limited their snowball throwing to straight up in the air celebrations or occasionally throwing them at each other.

Usually the stands are shoveled and cleared before a game but that wasn't possible yesterday as the snow kept falling heavily until just before game time. They were lucky enough just to clear the field in time.
